Well...the first 28 days is officially over! I really enjoyed this run and look forward to some big things in the future with PR-XT. I took my final measurements yesterday and lest there be any doubt, I took pics of the tape measure to verify the numbers. I was shocked to see most, if not all of the numbers increase (or decrease) in the appropriate direction!! Again, there was a little less than 2 weeks between these final measurements and the secondary ones I took and only 28 days from the starting measurements. Here are the numbers *drumroll*

That's a 3/8" increase in the chest (by far my weakest bodypart), 3/8" in the upper arm, waist decreased 1/8" (for doing very little cardio and a little extra cheating over the holidays, I am extremely pleased with this), mid-thighs increased 1/2" and calves went up 1/8". All this done in 28 days!! I can't even begin to imagine extrapolating that over a solid year's time.

My weight leveled off about a week ago at 196. Comparing that to my starting weight of 193.5, that is a solid 2.5 pound increase!! Now, based on the fact that my waist measurement is virtually the same and my waist area is the only place that I am holding any fat right now, I feel really confident is saying that 2.5 pounds is mostly/all lean body mass. I think that is awesome for a 28 day stretch!!

I will add my final thoughts on different asepcts of the product in my next post.

I finally have a few minutes to myself so I can write up my final thoughts and observations on the 28 day run of PR-XT:

OVERALL: I really enjoyed this product! It gave me, what I believe, are awesome results in a 28 day timeframe. You've all see the measurement numbers and the tape measure just doesn't lie. What's more, I could really feel the fullness that came with the size gains.

STRENGTH: The strength increases were obvious and apparent with PR-XT. Literally from day 2, my poundages and/or sets, and/or reps increased on almost every lift with every workout. I am fanatical about lifting with solid and proper form so I was not about to let the idea of lifting heavier weights compromise my form. I can say that all the strength increases came within the framework of proper and tight form.

ENDURANCE: I did not observe anything our of the ordinary in terms of cardiovascular endurance, however, I felt as though my muscular endurance was increased slightly from the PR-XT. By this I mean that during a working set, I felt as though my muscles would start to fatigue and then fail about one or two reps later than usual. Those extra reps pay off big in the long run and undoubtedly helped contribute to the size increases I saw.

MUSCLE FULLNESS: This was also very pronounced throughout the 28 days and I was not eating any more carbs than normal. My muscle bellies felt full and swollen throughout the day. I observed this the most in my biceps and triceps and that feeling would last and continue even on non-arm lifting days. I also felt good and full through the shoulders and back. I just had a sense of being "thick" throughout the day. I really, really enjoy that feeling!

BODY COMPOSITION: Although I did not have bf% done at the beginning of the run, I feel pretty confident in saying that my bf did not increase over the course of the 28 days. Now, normally that wouldn't cause me to think twice but this run did occur over Christmas and New Year's which, at my house, means a ton of food, cakes, snacks, pies, cookies, etc. I did keep myself pretty well in check but I definitely indulged as well. I was also doing less than my normal amount of daily cardio in order to save the calories more muscle building. It was noticeable to me that I was not adding bodyfat along with the muscle. I'm not sure how much of that, if any, I can attribute to the PR-XT...but I was definitely impressed that the body comp changes went they way they did.

I willl be recommending PR-XT to anyone who will listen in the future. Thanks again to everyone at MAN for the privilege and opportunity!!
